"MMA" Vs. "Traditional", "Traditional" Vs. "MMA"
Alright... MP had it right on another thread. What the hell are we doing differently? I train traiditional kung fu, but more than one style... so... traditional MMAist?
Anyhow, how is what we are doing so different? (Apart from breathing excersises, stylistic differences like power generation)
Do those of you arguing not realize that neither style is "better"? The person who trains harder is better. The hours one stylist spends in the gym training hard is not spent any better or worse than the hours someone from another style puts in the gym.
Some of the training methods may differ, but a good majority of them have a similar training used by another style. Were all on different paths to the same destination.
How many of you think that what we do is really that different, and why?
No stupid ass flame posts... please...
